Grilled Chicken, Bacon & Avocado Salad

This is my all-time most liked, pinned and shared recipe. And for good reason! It’s SUPER simple and quick to make, but really really delicious. It’s great on it’s own, or in a delicious ciabatta bun. (Or any other bread, really.) I love to take this on picnics and if I do, I’ll leave out the avocado and bring one with me to slice fresh when we eat. This dish really screams summer to me and we have so many memories associated with it- lake visits, swimming with friends, picnics at the park, 4th of July… It’s definitely one of our favorites! Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

-Dice green onions and cube the avocado. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and add mayo. Start small and add more if you need to. I don’t put very much at all, as you can tell in the photo. Just enough to give it a little moisture. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sandwich buns or alone.

This is also really yummy leftovers, so it can be eaten at any temperature. Warm, cold or room temp.

This recipe has no sugar or glutton. It fits with slow carb and paleo diets. Make a batch and take it to lunch. […]ReplyCancel

[…] Grilled Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Salad – the name is enough to win me over! Nobody will be thinking “diet food” when you serve this up. She suggests using Homemade or organic mayo. I haven’t tried making my own yet–I hear it’s not so hard, though. […]ReplyCancel

I buy an organic mayo at the store, but a homemade version would work just fine!ReplyCancel

My husband and I had this for dinner this evening! It was….AMAZING! My husband said we’re putting this on our “make again soon” list (with a few add in’s to try the next few times…just some things we thought as we ate dinner to make it different). Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!! Thanks for sharing it!ReplyCancel
